well...we all know Yahoo is powered by human's. it's about time google has told us they were doing something like this.

Is it true yahoo search is controlled by man. no wonder my sites come up in their lists why they hardly appear in google.
google needs to make listing fair by getting it controlled by man rather than robots.

This is nice, although a little obvious. You can expect G will use human feedback.. As long as the raters don't affect search results directly I don't see any problem with that. And even if they do that, if they're not recruiting anyone who applies I suppose it could still be regarded as fair.

As for their interface.. The cobbler's shoes are never fixed. With so much to do in Google and with all these new projects every day I guess they just don't want to spend the time and resources needed to improve their inner, not-so-important network interfaces.

Personally I always love to pay special attention for the admin panels I design, of course when it comes to a client who pays for them but even when me and my pal are going to be the only ones who will see that panel, it's just so nice to have full access and permissions to a system, to pass the security means and be welcomed to a fabulous admin panel which is stacked so nicely with tons of options...

But perhaps that's just me; I can allow myself to put an effort into designing something that is not as essential as the other parts of the site may be, Google can't. Long live Pixels Heaven!
